AirPort Express 802.11n unboxing gallery

A few days ago, Apple released the new AirPort Express with 802.11n Wi-Fi built-in. The release signified the completion of Apple’s wireless router line moving to the 802.11n Draft 2.0 standard, and they kept the price at an affordable $99 USD. We went down to the local Apple Store to pick one of these up to use alongside our AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule, which means we have a beefy N network rocking here at Gear Live HQ. Using the three in tandem is fantastic, especially for wireless Time Machine support.

We just put up an AirPort Express 802.11n unboxing gallery. We’ve got a good 12 images up there for your perusal giving you a look at how compact the AirPort Express wireless router is, as long as the ports and the power connector, among other things. Go give it a look.

The price of this product isn’t bad, it doesn’t weigh much, and it’s light also! I like how it allows you to take advantage of wireless wherever you go. I found it interesting that it features the new IEEE 802.11N technology (which is still being ratified) because with this technology it has quicker data rates!
